Coral id

[Jekerry]

We did a impulse purchase of a coral. I know, bad idea. But I thought the LFS wrote the name on the box. They did before, but they didn't. I have only had two days so it might be adjusting still, but it doesn't look as happy as it did in the store. I want to research and see if location and light are good. Anyone know what it is? It looks like broccoli to me. Hope this picture is good enough.

stylophora maybe?

In the future please turn the blue channels way down or off for ID pictures.. Color is rendered better and many times focus is improved..

almost positive its a green pocillopora. mine likes high light and high flow. don't be surprised if it shows up on other parts of your rock work eventually.

Thanks optionman. I might need to increase flow in that case. Light should be good.
